The picture on the front of the Tibet News page

...originally was a group of Chinese soldiers in uniform, carrying Tibetan monk robes. Almost as if they would later change into them and set some fires so the Chinese government could point to Tibetans as the instigators. It's off their site now and I can't find it. But is anybody surprised that the Chinese government would do this?

But there is a new link to an article about a group of Chinese attorneys who have chosen to represent the Tibetans who are being wrongly jailed (even by Chinese law). These are brave people indeed, and they're the kind of people who are going to begin a true democracy in China. This is exactly why I make the distinction between the Chinese government and the Chinese people.

IF IT'S BAD FOR THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT, IT'S GOOD FOR EVERYONE ELSE.
